DICI 114 Pro Series: High-Precision Dual-Stage Aquarium CO2 Regulator with Silent Solenoid & Bubble Counter

Technical Specifications: Engineering Excellence

The DICI 114 is built for performance. Every component, from the dual-stage diaphragm to the micro-precision needle valve, is manufactured to industrial standards.

Why "Dual Stage" Matters

If you are investing in rare plants like Bucephalandra, Eriocaulon, or high-tech carpets, the DICI 114 Dual Stage offers advantages that single-stage units simply cannot match.

2.1 Elimination of "End-of-Tank Dump" (EOTD)

In a single-stage regulator, as the liquid CO2 in your cylinder runs out, the internal pressure can suddenly spike, dumping a lethal amount of CO2 into your tank. The DICI 114 Dual-Stage design uses the first stage to reduce the high cylinder pressure to a manageable medium, and the second stage to deliver a precise, constant working pressure. Even when your tank is nearly empty, the output remains identical to day one.

2.2 Unrivaled Pressure Stability

Most regulators require frequent adjustment as the ambient temperature changes or as the gas volume fluctuates. The 114's dual-diaphragm system automatically compensates for these changes. Set your bubble count once, and it will remain consistent for months.

2.3 Whisper-Quiet 12V DC Solenoid

We know that your aquarium is likely in a living room or office. Our proprietary 12V DC solenoid technology eliminates the "buzzing" or "humming" sounds common in cheaper AC units. It operates at a significantly lower temperature, preventing heat transfer to the gas line and extending the lifespan of the seals.

2.4 Surgical Micro-Adjustment

The needle valve on the DICI 114 is designed for high-resolution control. It allows for adjustments down to 1 bubble every 10 seconds, making it as suitable for a 5-gallon nano tank as it is for a 500-gallon display.

For Every Precision Requirement

The DICI 114 Dual Stage Regulator is designed for environments where failure is not an option:

Professional Aquascaping Competitions: Used by world-class scapers to ensure stable pH levels and optimal "pearling" during the final growth stages before photography.

High-End Home Displays: Ideal for hobbyists with expensive livestock (discus, rare shrimp, or high-end plecos) that are sensitive to CO2 fluctuations.

Research & Laboratory Use: Because of its constant pressure output, the 114 is often used in laboratory settings for precise CO2 dosing in aquatic biological research.

Marine Calcium Reactors: Provides the ultra-stable, low-flow CO2 needed to accurately melt media in reef tank calcium reactors without drifting.

Plants require three things: Light, Nutrients, and Carbon. In a high-tech aquarium, CO2 is often the limiting factor. Without a reliable regulator, you face two risks:

Too Little CO2: Plants stop growing, and "Black Brush Algae" (BBA) begins to take over.

Too Much CO2: Livestock gasps for air at the surface and can perish within hours.

By using the DICI 114, you achieve the "Sweet Spot" of 30ppm CO2 concentration with zero variance, ensuring healthy, fast growth and vivid coloration for your plants.

When you choose DICI Valve, you are partnering with a manufacturer that prioritizes quality above all else. With over 15 years in fluid control, our reputation is built on reliability.

Our Manufacturing Philosophy:

Rigorous Quality Control: Every 114 regulator undergoes a 72-hour high-pressure static test and an electronic solenoid fatigue test before shipping.

International Certification: Our products meet CE, RoHS, and FCC standards, ensuring safety and compliance for global markets.

Direct Manufacturer Support: As the original manufacturer, we provide a full range of replacement parts (O-rings, solenoids, bubble counters) and direct technical support.

Global Distribution: We offer localized thread standards and plug types for North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, ensuring a "plug-and-play" experience.

Expert Guide

Connection: Always ensure the sealing washer is in place. Hand-tighten the nut to the cylinder, then give it a 1/4 turn with a wrench. Never use teflon tape on the cylinder connection.

Solenoid Setup: Connect the solenoid to a high-quality timer. We recommend syncing it with your light cycle (ON 1 hour before lights, OFF 1 hour before lights).

Bubble Counter: Fill the counter 2/3 with water or specialized CO2 indicator oil for easy tracking.

Leak Testing: Periodically check your connections with a soapy water spray to ensure 100% gas-tight performance.

Q: What is the main difference between Model 114 and Model 473? A: Model 114 is a Dual Stage regulator, which offers superior safety against "End-of-Tank Dump." Model 473 is a high-quality dual-gauge single-stage regulator. For expensive livestock, 114 is the recommended choice.

Q: Can I use this with a paintball tank? A: Yes, with a standard CGA320-to-paintball adapter, the 114 works perfectly on paintball tanks for smaller setups.

Q: Does it include a check valve? A: Yes, the integrated bubble counter features a built-in check valve to prevent backflow.
